1 STANDBY BUTTON AND INDICATOR
Pressing this button places the AVP in standby mode, turning off the dis-
play, disengaging all control functions, and turning off all outputs to the
main zone (remote zone functions are still available). The internal circuitry
remains on in order to maximize performance on demand by virtue of all
circuits remaining thermally stable. Lest you think this wasteful, you should
know that the AVP draws about the same power as a light bulb, whether in
standby or fully on. The benefits of having it always warmed up and ready
to go (and always able to respond to remote control commands) far out-
weigh the small amount of power used. We recommend using the front
panel power switch (13 ) only when you will be away from the house for
extended period of time, such as during a vacation.
There is another good reason for using the AVP’s standby mode. The AVP
will generate a full-frame, dark grey video signal during standby, rather than
passing no signal at all. This is particularly helpful with many projections
televisions, since it gives the projector a “sync” signal without calling for any
significant generation of light. This feature allows the projector to remain
fully warmed up at all times without risking damage to the phosphors
which create the projected light.
2 AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCES
These five buttons select both the video and associated audio signals from
any of the defined A/V inputs. (See define source buttons in The Setup
Menu section of this manual.) To use these Selection Buttons, choose the
appropriate path (see path, below). (For your music/home theater room,
“main” would be appropriate.) Then make your selection. The sophisticated
switching system employed in the AVP allows simultaneous, independent
routing of both audio and video signals the two signal paths: main, and
remote/record.
